Governor urged to keep Amish school exemptions in Iowa
Kalona attorney Lawrence B. Griffiths said Gov. Robert Ray should use influence to sway the state board of public instruction to restore the exemption for Amish schools. The board, in a 5-4 vote, ended the 1967 exemption, requiring state certified teachers and compliance with compulsory attendance laws. Griffiths noted Ray will meet Amish leaders and board officials to seek a reversal before the Aug. 26 meeting.
